A woman who has previously worked for former Meta operations chief Sheryl Sandberg claims she was tasked with drafting the “conversation points” for her boss while she was at work with her first child.
Sarah Wynn-Williams, the author of an explosive memory of her six-year-old mandate in the company that was then known as Facebook, wrote a sharp rating of Sandberg, including a claim that her boss invited her to “come to bed” while dressed in pajamas during a private plane.
Wynn-Williams, who was director of public politics on Facebook, recalled to give birth to her firstborn in January 2014 in her new book entitled “Careless People: A Warning Tale of Lost Power, greed and Idealism”.
“I receive a message,” she wrote. “Shel will suddenly go to a meeting with Brazil’s president in Davos and she wants speech.”
Wynn-Williams suffered the ethics of Sandberg’s rigid work in the light of her best-selling book 2013 “Lean in: Women, Work and the will to lead”, which encourages women to be more ambitious in their careers as they affirm on corporate boards.
“I’m in the birth room, my legs in riots, at work,” Wynn-Williams wrote. “I lowered my phone and reach my laptop. I start to design. ”
Her husband, Tom, who was near, was extraordinary, according to the book.
“What are you doing?” he asked.
“Just taking Sheyl some conversation points,” replied Wynn-Williams her husband, according to memories.
“Sarah, no,” her husband told her.
But Wynn-Williams continued.
“I keep pressing,” she wrote. This is when her husband “calls on my doctor, a person he knows I respect deeply …”
But Wynn-Williams insists on completing the job despite being “between contractions”, telling her husband and the doctor: “Two minutes.”
According to Wynn-Williams, the doctor “reaches up and gently close my laptop”.
“She says, ‘it’s a very special thing to give birth to your first baby. I don’t think you have to work through it. Shel will understand.'”
“She will not,” replied Wynn-Williams. “Please let me push me to send.”
This is when the doctor replied: “You must postpone. But not send. ”
Wynn-Williams wrote that “[d]Despite disapproval in the room, “it” reopen quickly[ed] Laptop. ”
“I send the email. I know what this looks like, and I can’t protect it. “
Wynn-Williams wrote that she was “shame” even though “she can’t blame this completely on Facebook”.
“I was this kind of person run all my life. I don’t like letting people down. But it is also true that on Facebook, I didn’t feel like I had a choice, ”she wrote.
The post has requested comment from Sandberg and Facebook’s parent company, Meta.
Wynn-Williams also claimed in the book that Sandberg spent $ 13,000 on herself interior and another subordinate, her personal assistant “Sadie”, and that she was frustrated when Wynn-Williams refused the former Coco invitation to “come to bed” while on a private jet flight.
According to Wynn-Williams, Sandberg and Sadie would get curves sleeping on each other’s lap and hitting each other’s hair on road trips.
Sandberg has so far refused to comment on the claims.
Wynn-Williams has also accused another meta executive, Joel Kaplan, of her sexual harassment. Meta said he conducted a long internal investigation into the claims.
“This is a mixture of old and previously reported claims about the company and false accusations for our leaders,” spokesman Meta Post told.
“Eight years ago, Sarah Wynn-Williams was fired for poor performance and toxic behavior, and an investigation at the time determined that she made deceptive and unfounded accusations of harassment.”
“Since then, it has been paid by activists against phase and this is merely a continuation of that work. Whistleblower’s status defends communications to the government, not unhappy activists trying to sell books.”
